FOTD: My St. Patrick's Day Look

10:00 PM

Hey guys! I was originally planning on recording a green St. Patrick's Day tutorial but somehow my weekends always seem to be busy busy. The good news is that I did the second best thing, a "face of the day" from the actual morning of March 17th to show you how I really did my makeup. I feel like it's been a long time since I did a good 'ole FOTD without a video, am I right?

Here's a second little preview of my ombre hair which I am really loving so far. It's not too intense in real life that I feel uncomfortable with it, and it looks nice even when I don't do anything at all to it like in these photos.

Here's one with eyes closed so you can see the shadow. Although I actually do this a lot, it's actually a technique that I haven't used in a video yet so I might go ahead and show it in a video anyhow in the future. As you can see, the concentration of shadow is pretty horizontal as opposed to the rounded shape that I did in my smoky pink eyes tutorial.

When eyes are opened you see just a hint of color on the lids. It's a pretty effect when you are blinking.

I also used the NYX Mosaic Powder in Highlight for the browbones, inner eye corners, and tops of cheeks. Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Lucky is on my lower lash line. Lashes are Pretty & Cute Korean High Fiber Lashes in M146 which look nice and fluttery. I just have Blistex Silk & Shine lipbalm on my lips.

Here's a close-up of the eyes. You can click to see it larger.

Since I was totally kidding in my last post about talking about my hair here, I will do a hair post VERY SOON for real, and also have a review and swatches of both my Inglot palette (thank you sis!) and a few Josie Maran items including the one I used for this look.

Oh, hello there green eyes. I love that Jen. I got sooo influenced by reading your blogs. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I want to have that eyes too. Since I have my Clinique eyeshadow with the shade of green, I want it to apply it to my eyes just like you do. Haha, Im so obsessed with your blog. I love your blog.

The look is very clean and polished and I really like it. I'll have to remember to wear it for next year's St. Patrick's Day :) Really love that hair color though. I've always wanted my hair to be that shade. <3

I love green! It's such a fabulous color, especially on you! Oh and btw, HauteLook is having a R&R sale going. It ends 8am (Pacific Time) tomorrow morning 3/23, just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't! ^_^

This looks great and I really love your new ombre hair! Can't wait till you do your post about it!! I wonder if I can just let my roots grow up so it becomes natural ombre hair... haha... no, I'm really going to need to re-dye it before I let it get that bad!

wow, you look gorgeous - as usual! :) love your new hair too. just wanted to say that I'd love to see you do a tutorial for this - especially the technique for how the eyeshadow is more horizontal; I feel like the more rounded eyeshadow application doesn't really work for my eye shape or something, so I've been looking for other tutorials...
